Asteboids is an 'asteroids'-like game.

A little bit of history

Asteroids is a arcade game released in 1979 by Atari, Inc. The player controls a single spaceship in an asteroid field. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy the asteroids, while not colliding with either. The game becomes harder as the number of asteroids increases.

This repository is a simple port of the original game play in Go, while replacing asteroids with boids (autonomous agents).
